NOTE:

Circuit/System Verification must be performed before proceeding with Circuit/System Testing.

Menu Switch Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the S78 Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch, ignition ON.
  2. Test for 4.8 - 5.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 5 and ground.
    • If less than 4.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    • If greater than 5.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the P16 Instrument Cluster, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    • Go to next step: If between 4.8 - 5.2 V 
  3. Test for less than 10 Ω between the ground circuit terminal 3 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 

      Repair the open/high resistance in the circuit

    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  4. Test or replace the S78 Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch.

Set, Up and Down Switch Malfunction

  1. Ignition OFF and all vehicle systems OFF, disconnect the X1 harness connector at the S78 Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch, ignition ON.
  2. Test for less than 10 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal 6 and ground.
    • If 10 Ω or greater 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    2. Test for less than 2 Ω in the low reference circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    • Go to next step: If less than 10 Ω 
  3. Test for 9.8 - 12.2 V between the signal circuit terminal 12 and ground.
    • If less than 9.8 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    2. Test for infinite resistance between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If less than infinite resistance, repair the short to ground on the circuit.
      • Go to next step: If infinite resistance
    3. Test for less than 2 Ω in the signal circuit end to end.
      • If 2 Ω or greater, repair the open/high resistance in the circuit.
      • If less than 2 Ω, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    • If greater than 12.2 V 
    1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the P16 Instrument Cluster, ignition ON.
    2. Test for less than 1 V between the signal circuit and ground.
      • If 1 V or greater, repair the short to voltage on the circuit.
      • If less than 1 V, replace the P16 Instrument Cluster.
    • Go to next step: If between 9.8 - 12.2 V 
  4. Test or replace the S78 Turn Signal/Multifunction Switch.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
